Since you have a 34 inch wide frame, we may have something that could work with a bit of fabrication on your part. 34 inch wide frames (measured from outside to outside) is a very common frame width for cab and chassis trucks, so we do have options for those beyond the universal RV style hitches.

I recommend looking at part # 41947. This hitch fits a 34 inch wide frame and has several height adjustments on the brackets so the receiver can be adjusted to a few different heights. I've attached the installation details to assist so you can determine if you might have a good fit.

An option that can definitely work is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703. This can either bolt-on or weld-on depending on your preference. It is compatible with box, I-beam, or C-Channel frames. It won't have the same capacity, but it will be a fit.

I have recently purchased a 2010 Kenworth 370 to pull a gooseneck trailer tht im in the process of buying. what is the best adapter to connect the gooseneck with the semi`s 5th wheel standard hitch.should i purchase a plate and connect it to the truck frame or purchase an adapter for the hitch itself. also while im on the subject what all is needed for brakes and lights. Trailer will b electric over hyd brakes for sure but im not sure what type plug trailer will have im guessing it would b standard whatever tht mayb. i would like to keep the stock kenworth female plug on truck flex cord in case needed for pulling regular style trailer for tht truck. Guess u could sum up my questions to,,,, what all do i need to purchase to put this trailer behind this truck

As long as the hitch on your Kenworth takes the standard 2" king pin then you can use an adapter like the Ram Gooseneck Adapter # KPG5-R30IP or even something like the Gen-Y # 325-GH-8045 which replaces a 1621 or 1621HD pin box. As far as wiring goes it would be best to use something like the Converter # RM-732 with a 7-Way Connector # PK11898 so that you have separate wiring for a regular semi trailer. Then we have the Hayes brake controller # HA100400C which is designed to work with air brakes. Here is a link to show how you want your 7-Way pin output to be for the 5th wheel connector.
